California is the star at luxuriant L.A. hotel overlooking the ocean
Live the California dream, old and new, at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel Santa Monica (also known as the Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows). Stroll the grassy palm-shaded park overlooking the peeling waves of the Pacific Ocean and dine at renowned L.A. restaurants within blocks, including on-site FIG. Return to the Fairmont Miramar Hotel Santa Monica for discreet service and superior day spa that Hollywood has found solace in for decades. Fabulous sunglasses not included (but private car transport to L.A. boutiques is).
Highlights
  • Coastal bluff and private beach club below 
  • Green Hotel 
  • Poolside massages and yoga studio at day spa 
  • Pets welcome
  • FIG Restaurant uses ingredients mostly from Santa Monica Farmer's Market
Rooms

The oldest rooms at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel Santa Monica are 1930s one- and two-story bungalows or rooms with European wood and classic marble bathrooms. Those who desire a scenic balcony from 10 stories up opt for contemporary rooms across the gardens. In all accommodations, guests relax in front of a 42-inch TV in a 100 percent cotton robe on 200 thread-count Italian linens under down pillows and duvets. Enjoy mini-bars, Wolfgang Puck coffee and Miller Harris products. Wi-Fi is available at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel Santa Monica (fees apply). All 302 rooms are non-smoking. 

Features
The Fairmont Miramar Hotel Santa Monica was originally a mansion. Over the hedges, five acres contain koi ponds and a swimming pool heated year-round with bar service.
Dining
Named for the Moreton Bay fig tree at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel Santa Monica entrance, FIG offers a refined quality-over-quantity menu of California organic cuisine. Sunday brunch comes with a bottomless pint of beer. An indoor/outdoor lounge at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel Santa Monica features beach house style sofas. Room service is available 24/7.

Great weekend getaway

The front desk and concierge staff were VERY friendly and polite. More so than any hotels I have stayed. I thought the work out equipment was a bit dated for such a nice facility, otherwise it was great. The FIG restaurant was very good as well. Enjoyed having a breakfast package available. Also appreciated the car service

DON'T EXPECT TO SLEEP

I had no sleep for the two nights I stayed there. Night club next door played music until wee hours and even though I was on the 8th floor, I spent the night staring at the ceiling. Had business meeting next morning, it was no good. Very disappointed.

nice stay

excellnt location-perfect for riding bikes along the ocean. It is so close to great shopping and restaurants. Also, a great experience is to ride bikes to Venice beach. My only complaint would be with the size of the pool area. The only way to get a seat at the pool is to get down there at the crack of dawn. Otherwise, it was a great experience!

It doesn't get any better

We had 2 rooms connected for our family of 5. They met our kids with presents and a fruit basket, and sent up cakes when they found out it was our daughters birthday. top class service, can't fault it.

Nice room

Room was pretty nice. There's a charge for parking, but I forgot how much. Nice location by the beach. A little pricey.
